Are they seriously expecting Hong Kong people to back a facial recognition startup? "Hey, guys, we know you've been cutting down facial recognition cameras but how about you actually buy in?"<p>These people have been fighting for their freedom for weeks, using Telegram to coordinate protests and provide shelter and medical help to those hounded by the 'police', using non-violent (largely) methods to fight back against opression... And now a Chinese state-sponsored startup wants to get money from them? How's that going to work?<p>Even the article states that the company is losing money and seems to be getting worse. Pretty sure Hong Kong citizens would rather invest into something like Telegram/Signal or a means of resistance to state-sponsored surveillance (EMP devices, masks, signal scramblers, etc.)
